DiskIO V3

Introduction

ECB Disk I/O V3 is a board that provides floppy and IDE interfaces.

Specifications

General

  • ECB-compatible 8-bit interface.
  • Eurocard form factor (160 mm x 100 mm).
  • Jumper selectable I/O address area (default 20h - 3Fh). Allows connecting multiple Disk IO controllers per system.
  • Jumper selectable RESET input: N8VEM compatible (RESET is 31C) or Kontron compatible (RESET is 26C).

Floppy interface

  • Based on SMC FDC9266 floppy disk controller IC. It is fully NEC uPD765 / Intel 8272 compatible and includes an integrated data separator.
  • Supports common IBM floppy formats (720 KB, 1.44 MB, and others)
  • Polled I/O or interrupt driven I/O. DMA support is not implemented.
  • Jumper selectable interrupt output pin: Z80 ~INT, ~NMI, John's Multifunction board, and Wolfgang's ECB-ModPrn board (using Z80 CTC as the interrupt controller).
  • 34-pin floppy interface connector. Jumper configurable to either Shugart or PC pin out. Supports 4 floppy drives in Shugart configuration or 2 floppy drives in PC configuration.
  • 50-pin Shugart floppy interface (for 8“ floppy drives).
  • Optional “disk change” line read out support.

IDE interface

  • Based on Intel 8255 PPI, using PPIDE design. This provides compatibility with most IDE disk drives, including ones that were not compatible with previous Disk IO boards.
  • Supports two IDE devices (master and slave).
  • Polled I/O only.
  • Jumper for connecting IDE pin 20 to VCC.

Board

Input/Output Ports

Note: Default I/O area (0x20-0x3F) is used in this section. Adjust according to the actual board settings of I/O address area.

20h-23h (aliases 24h-27h, 28h-2Bh, 2Ch-2Fh) - PPI / PPIDE

  • 20h - PPI port A.
    • Read/Write IDE data bus, bits 0-7
      • Set PPI control word according to the operation (read or write). See control word values below.
      • Bit 7 has a pull down register, and it will read as 0 if IDE drive is absent.
  • 21h - PPI port B. Read/Write (set PPI control word accordingly)
    • Read/Write IDE data bus, bits 8-15
      • Set PPI control word according to the operation (read or write). See control word values below.
  • 22h - PPI port C, connected to IDE control signals
    • Write - Set IDE control signals:
      • Bit 0 - IDE A0
      • Bit 1 - IDE A1
      • Bit 2 - IDE A2
      • Bit 3 - IDE /CS0 (inverted) 1 = CS0 active, 0 = CS0 inactive
      • Bit 4 - IDE /CS1 (inverted) 1 = CS1 active, 0 = CS1 inactive
      • Bit 5 - IDE /WR (inverted) 1 = Write, 0 = inactive
      • Bit 6 - IDE /RD (inverted) 1 = Read, 0 = inactive
      • Bit 7 - IDE /RESET (inverted) 1 = Reset, 0 = Normal operation
  • 23h - PPI control word.
    • Write - Set PPI control word. Use following control word values for PPIDE:
      • 92h - Read IDE data or command (Ports A and B - mode 0, input; Port C - output)
      • 80h - Write IDE data or command (Ports A and B - mode 0, output; Port C - output)
    • Read - Read current PPI control word.

30h-3Fh - FDC

  • 30h (aliases 32h, 34h, 36h) - FDC Main Status Register (N8VEM Disk I/O uses 36h)
  • 31h (aliases 33h, 35h, 37h) - FDC Data Register (N8VEM Disk I/O uses 37h)
  • 38h (aliases 39h - 3Fh)
    • Write - FDC Diginal Output Register (DOR), also known as latch.
      • Bit 0 - TC
      • Bit 1 - MOTOR (0 = Motor off, 1 = Motor on)
      • Bit 2 - MINI
      • Bit 3 - P2
      • Bit 4 - P1
      • Bit 5 - P0
      • Bit 6 - DENSEL (0 = High density, 1 = Low density)
      • Bit 7 - ~FDC_RST (0 = FDC RESET active, 1 = normal operation)
    • Read - FDC Digital Input Register (DIR)
      • Bit 0 - ~DC
      • Bits 1-7 - unused
    • N8VEM FDC compatibility notes:
      • Bit 1 is inverted, so upon system reset floppy drive motor(s) will be turned off
      • Bit 6 is inverted, but it is unlikely that it will cause any compatibility problems, as modern 3.5” drives don't use this signal
      • Bit 7 of the latch is used differently (and incorrectly) on N8VEM Disk I/O as an input to ~DC (disk change) line. In Zeta SBC this output is connected to FDC RESET input, and allows software controlled FDC reset.
      • ~DC (disk change) output from floppy drives can be read from DIR register, bit 0. It could be used by the system to detect floppy disk change. In such case CP/M should be warm rebooted.

Bill of Materials (BOM)

BOM Notes

Disclaimer: I did my best to make sure that components listed in this BOM will be compatible with ECB Disk IO V3 board. Obviously I didn't order all of components listed here, and I was not able to actually verify that they will work. Please make sure to double check specifications on manufacturer's and seller's web site before ordering. Please let me know (or update the BOM) if you found any problems or incompatibilities.

Many components have multiple part numbers listed in BOM. There are some differences between various part numbers, such as:

  • Different manufacturer (e.g. Texas Instruments vs. National Semiconductor for IC). Usually these ICs will be 100% compatible and won't have any differences in specifications. For some other components (e.g. connectors) different manufacturer also means different quality. It for example is likely to get a better quality connector from TE (was AMP/Tyco) than from some obscure manufacturer (e.g. components sold under Jameco ValuePro brand).
  • Specification differences
    • Different IC families (LS, ALS), different technologies (TTL and CMOS). They have different specs, and you might prefer to use certain IC family.
    • Different IC speed/frequency, especially PPI.
    • Minor differences. For example: RoHS or Pb-free vs. regular components; thickness of gold plating on connectors; frequency stability of oscillators and crystals.
  • Price differences

If unsure what to order, read specifications on seller's and manufacturer's web sites. Also please read Replacement Notes below. Finally, consult people on RetroBrew Computers Forum.

Replacement Notes

  • 74xx logic
    • TTL logic families: 74LS, 74ALS, 74F, or TTL-compatible CMOS: 74HCT and 74AHCT could be used. Note some people reported problems when using CMOS ICs in their ECB boards for bus drivers and transmitters (74×241, 74×245). 74ACT-series have very steep (fast) switching slopes, that might cause more noise (signal reflection or ringing) on unterminated buses.
    • Plain 74LS should work with CPU frequency up to 8 MHz. But it is recommended to use higher speed and lower power 74ALS ICs.
  • 8255 PPI
    • It is recommended to use higher speed CMOS versions. For example 8 MHz Intersil / Harris CP82C55A part (note CP82C55A-5 is 5 MHz), 10 MHz Toshiba TMP82C55AP-10 or NEC D71055C-10 parts.

Software configuration

SBC V2

The default build of RomWBW for the SBC V2 will not recognize the Disk IO V3. A custom build is required. Follow the instructions here to build and customize the ROM and make the following changes :

Floppy Disk support:

FDENABLE      .SET    TRUE           ; TRUE FOR FLOPPY DEVICE SUPPORT
FDMODE        .SET    FDMODE_DIO3    ; FDMODE_DIO, FDMODE_DIDE, FDMODE_DIO3

Use the FDU.COM utility in CP/M to test and format floppy disks.

IDE Support:

The DISK IO V3 board implements the IDE interface via PPIDE. PPIDE is supported in ROMWBW but is not enabled by default. Up to three IDE interfaces can be used and when enabled ROMWBW will look for them on port 60h, 20h and 44h respectively.

To enable IDE support and set the number of interfaces available, update your custom configuration:

SBC_std_cust.asm

PPIDEENABLE    .SET    TRUE              ; TRUE FOR PPIDE DEVICE SUPPORT
PPIDECNT       .SET    1                 ; NUMBER OF 8255 CHIPS. EACH WILL SUPPORT TWO DRIVES

Further customization of ports and IDE modes done by adding and changing these definitions in your customer configuration file.

PPIDE0BASE     .SET    $60          ; PPIDE 0: PPI REGISTERS BASE ADR
PPIDE0A8BIT    .SET    FALSE        ; PPIDE 0A (MASTER): 8 BIT XFER
PPIDE0B8BIT    .SET    FALSE        ; PPIDE 0B (SLAVE): 8 BIT XFER
PPIDE1BASE     .SET    $20          ; PPIDE 1: PPI REGISTERS BASE ADR
PPIDE1A8BIT    .SET    FALSE        ; PPIDE 1A (MASTER): 8 BIT XFER
PPIDE1B8BIT    .SET    FALSE        ; PPIDE 0B (SLAVE): 8 BIT XFER
PPIDE2BASE     .SET    $44          ; PPIDE 2: PPI REGISTERS BASE ADR
PPIDE2A8BIT    .SET    FALSE        ; PPIDE 2A (MASTER): 8 BIT XFER
PPIDE2B8BIT    .SET    FALSE        ; PPIDE 0B (SLAVE): 8 BIT XFER

Make sure that IDEENABLE is set back to false unless you have another device with has a true IDE interface:

IDEENABLE    .SET    FALSE   ; TRUE FOR IDE DEVICE SUPPORT

Use the FDISK80.COM utility in CP/M to setup your IDE drive.

Example process for preparing an SD CARD to work in the DISKIO V3 or other PPIDE devices:

  • A partition is not used for setting up a CP/M disks.
  • Each disk is called a slice and can be a maximum of 8Mb.
  • Space is reserved at the beginning of the card for up to 8 slices (disks)
  • Slices are not visible on windows/linux
  1. Execute FDISK80, specifying the disk unit to be modified. Disk unit information is displayed at boot time.
  2. I – command: wipe the old partition table.
  3. R - Reserve 8 slices (disks)
  4. G - Set geometry for SDCard, C:H:S – sectors per head (track) = 16, C:H:S – tracks (heads) per cylinder = 16
  5. N - New partition: number = 1, start cyclinder = default (520), Ending Cylinder = 8193
  6. T - Partition number = 1, Type = 06
  7. W - Write partition information to SDCard
  8. Format partition 1 in a windows/linux machine, or expand it or add new partitions.
  9. Format slices (disks) using CLRDIR.COM
